The irrational mother of Gao not only blamed her for causing her son’s car accident but even accused her of being responsible for the accidental death of Ji Mengtang’s parents years ago.
“Get out! The further away, the better. Don’t come near Zhongwei again!”
Gao’s mother pushed her forcefully. Ji Mengtang, who had just awakened and still needed the nurse’s support, could hardly withstand such treatment. She almost lost her balance and nearly fell, which made the nurse angry and say to Gao’s mother: “Madam, Miss Ji is also injured and just woke up. How can you push her like this?”
“Injured? Hmph! Look, she’s fine, not even a finger broken. But my poor Zhongwei might have to lie in bed for the rest of his life because of this woman. He won’t even be able to walk. He’s my only son! What are we two old people supposed to do? I hate her. I’ve long told Zhongwei not to be with her, but he wouldn’t listen. He’s like this today because of her!”
Gao’s mother’s accusations made Ji Mengtang unable to lift her head, only able to suppress her sobs.
“It seems they won’t let you see him. Let’s go back!” The nurse, upset by Gao’s mother’s aggressive attitude, pulled Ji Mengtang away and tried to comfort her: “Don’t listen to what Mrs. Gao said. She has lost her mind.”
“No… perhaps it really is my fault! I caused Zhongwei’s paralysis!”
Ji Mengtang knew that while Gao’s mother’s words were emotional, her request to go see the night view was an undeniable fact. If she hadn’t asked, they wouldn’t have had the accident, and Zhongwei wouldn’t have been paralyzed.
“Alas! The moon waxes and wanes, and people’s fortunes rise and fall. Who could have predicted this? You didn’t do it on purpose!” The nurse patted her shoulder, trying to comfort her.
Ji Mengtang’s face was still wet with tears, but she managed to squeeze out a smile and thank her. “Thank you! Oh, I forgot to ask your name.”
This nurse was so kind; she definitely wanted to thank her properly in the future.
“I’m Zhou Peiruo. If you have any questions, just ask me, okay?”
